Message-ID: <20120517191339.GA17018@elgon.mountain> (raw)

Hello Hauke, Arend,

The patch 898d3c3b2462: "brcmsmac: use sprom from bcma" from Apr 29, 
2012, leads to the following warning:
drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmsmac/channel.c:645 
brcms_c_country_valid()
	 error: buffer overflow 'ccode' 2 <= 2

-       if (ccode && brcms_c_country_valid(ccode))
-               strncpy(wlc->pub->srom_ccode, ccode, BRCM_CNTRY_BUF_SZ - 1);
+       if (sprom->alpha2 && brcms_c_country_valid(sprom->alpha2))
                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is a two character array.  It's not NULL terminated.

+               strncpy(wlc->pub->srom_ccode, sprom->alpha2, sizeof(sprom->alpha2));

But in brcms_c_country_valid() we check for the NULL terminator.

   637  static bool brcms_c_country_valid(const char *ccode)
   638  {
   639          /*
   640           * only allow ascii alpha uppercase for the first 2
   641           * chars.
   642           */
   643          if (!((0x80 & ccode[0]) == 0 && ccode[0] >= 0x41 && ccode[0] <= 0x5A &&
   644                (0x80 & ccode[1]) == 0 && ccode[1] >= 0x41 && ccode[1] <= 0x5A &&
   645                ccode[2] == '\0'))
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Here.

   646                  return false;

My guess is that this works because -> leddc_on_time is mostly zero.

regards,
dan carpenter
